3i issues ‘cautious’ outlook amid marginal rise in asset values

3i Group declared a mere 2% increase in its per-share net asset value to 286 pence in the first half of its financial year, and issued a “cautious” outlook saying the stock-market rally doesn’t “seem to reflect the real economy”.

For the six months ended September, the buyout group reported investments worth £190m (€210m), compared with £668m in the corresponding period last year. Realisations also dropped, to £507m from £597m.
